Chamber Music Concert in the Senior School

The Spring Chamber Music Concert at Croydon High School took place on Thursday 5th May in the Senior School hall. Parents were treated to a wonderful evening of music from a traditional Baroque orchestra to a more modern interpretation of chamber music with the Big Band. There was also great variety in the smaller groups too, with a saxophone trio from year 7 featuring Meera, Riya and Lara through to a cello duo from the Sixth Form performing an arrangement from Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute.

The Croydon High School Chamber Orchestra accompanied two sets of soloists in the Bach Double Violin Concerto, with Ananya and Lottie from Year 10 performing the fast first movement with confidence and skill. Lara and Milly from Year 7 performed the slow second movement with subtlety and style. We were also treated to a string quartet, a flute trio, piano duets, a trumpet ensemble and the Years 7, 8 and senior chamber choirs.

The audience enjoyed all this music whilst seated at tables, sampling a lovely selection of cheese and chutneys from our fabulous kitchen. Many thanks go to Mr Ting, Dr Purvis, Mr Davies and Ms Warwick for their assistance in preparing the students for their performances at the Croydon High Chamber Music Concert.
